Areca ARC-1880I Folheto
ARC-1880ix-12/16/24
Areca high-performance ARC-1880 series PCIe 2.0 to 6Gb/s SAS RAID adapter
can provide up to (128) 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS/SATA/SSD peripheral devices
using 6Gb/s SAS expanders. The adapters are based on the same RAID kernel of
field-proven external RAID adapter and same device drivers with widely used
SAS/SATA RAID adapters. Applications that benefit most features from these
adapters include NAS, server RAID solutions, supercomputing, near-line backup,
security systems, streaming and cloud computing applications.

SAS 2.0 is designed for backward compatibility
with SAS 1.0, twice speed data transfer 6Gb/s
than previous available. The SAS 2.0 interface
supports both 6Gb/s SAS 2.0 disk drives for
data-intensive applications, and 6Gb/s SATA
drives for low-cost bulk storage of reference
data.The ARC-1880 series adapters include

The 6Gb/s SAS RAID adapters raise the standard
to higher performhance levels with several
enhancements including new high-performance
800MHz RoC Processor, a DDR2-800 memory
architecture and high performance x8 lane PCIe
2.0 host interface bus interconnection. The
ARC-1880ix-12/16/24 controllers each include one
240-pin DIMM socket with default 1GB of ECC
DDR2-800 registered SDRAM with optional battery
backup module, upgrade to 4GB. The
ARC-1880i/1880x/1880ixl-8/1880ixl-12 low profile
boards default support 512MB on-board memory.
Those low profile boards are ideal for 1U/2U
servers.

The RAID 6 can offer fault tolerance greater that
RAID 1 or RAID 5 but only consumes the capacity
of 2 disk drives for distributed parity data. The
6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers with extreme
performance RAID 6 engine installed provide the
highest RAID 6 feature to meet this requirement.
The 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers can also provide

Easy RAID Management
The adapters contain an embedded McBIOS RAID
manager that can access via hot key at BIOS
boot-up screen. This pre-boot RAID manager can
use to simplify the setup and management of RAID
controller. The adapter firmware also contains a
browser-based McRAID storage manager which
can be accessed through the LAN port or ArcHttp
proxy server. The McRAID storage manager
allows local and remote to create and modify RAID
set, volume set, and monitor RAID status from
standard web browser. The Single Admin Portal
(SAP) monitor utility can support one application
to scan multiple RAID units in the network. The
Disk Stress Test (DST) utility kicks out disks
meeting marginal spec before the RAID unit is
actually put on-line for real business.
